    Mira Sorvino.  She won an Oscar for Mighty Aphroditie and kind of faded into oblivion.

    Poor girl probably went coo-coo after doing a Woody Allen picture.

    Why?  Who else has gone coo coo?  He has had about 100 famous actors and actresses work for him.  No complaints.  You are safe, unless you are adopted by him, I guess.  

    I hate to say it, but he does make excellent movies.  Just because you are demented, does not mean you are without talent. Look at Mel Gibson and Tom Cruise.  TOTALLY deranged yet, very talented.

    OH MY GOD, Zack. That is RIGHT. I remember her talking about it.  THAT SOB.  She was so talented too. That movie was AMAZING.  She was so funny in it.  I loved that movie.  I hate Harvey W.

    Thelonious Bernard

    He made only one movie  - - 1979's "A Little Romance" - fun movie! (It was actress Diane Lane's first movie, too.) From what I can tell, the movie is well respected. But, when it comes down to it, I really like the movie, so that's all that counts to me. Ha!
    :)

    According to Wikipedia, he now is a dentist.

    this one's for you diehard foreign film fans.........in "Fellini's 8 1/2" 
    there was a STUNNING BLONDE who was onscreen for, maybe, 30 seconds, if that.....GOD she was gorgeous.

    her name was Edy Vessel, or Hedy Vessel,& she made a couple of B movies, foreign, then disappeared........

    what a shame.....someone said that perhaps she decided that 'movie fame' was not for her.......and I"m sure she's happier for her decision.

    but OH MY if you ever get to see it, she's in the fantasy sequence where Mastroianni has all  his mistresses in one house......

    OMG  you looked her up? how? was it a still photo or a clip from "8 1/2"??


    let me know!!!  and even though I wish she'd continued her film career, I'm happy that she's probably enjoying her life out of the spotlight...but oh, that face, right!! 

    so let me know!!!!!

    Only by chance did I come across your reply to me - - it looks like your reply got posted as a separate answer. I'm sorry I saw it years later
    I realize you haven't been on the site for over two years but here's a picture I found of her I like.
